Water problems solved by a crew that reads the land.

When Cleveland homeowners face standing water, basement seep, or slopes giving way, they call Samson Landscape + Design. Years on the Eastside means we know the clay, the frost line, and the way water wants to move on a Heights lot.

Our excavation work goes past shovel-and-pipe. We read topography, soil, and flow — then design a system that lasts. Residential or commercial, we show up with the equipment, the license, and a plan.

What we dig.

-01'

French Drain Installation

Eliminate standing water and protect your foundation with professionally installed French drains. Perforated pipe + clean gravel + filter fabric — sized to your site and pitched to daylight.

-02'

Yard Grading + Regrading

Proper grading is the cheapest water management tool you own. We reshape contours so runoff moves away from the house and toward designated swales and catch basins.

-03'

Drainage Problem Diagnosis

Not sure where the water is coming from? We walk the property, map downspouts, check soil, and build a cost-ranked plan — from a single downspout extension to a full sub-surface system.

-04'

Erosion Control

Stop losing topsoil. We stabilize slopes with strategic excavation, armored swales, retaining walls, and drainage pickups that keep soil where it belongs.

Four phases. Every job.

From the first utility locate to the last rake of topsoil — here's what working with our crew looks like.

  1. Locate + Mark

    Public utility locates are called in first. Then we mark private lines, septic, irrigation, and low-voltage — every dig starts with a clean underground picture.

  2. Excavate

    Mini-excavator, skid-steer, or hand-dig based on access and soil. Spoils are staged on plywood so we protect turf, and cuts are squared off for a clean install.

  3. Install + Pitch

    Pipe, fabric, and stone go in to spec with a laser level confirming pitch. Every joint is checked. Every catch basin sits level and flush.

  4. Backfill + Restore

    Compacted backfill, clean finish grade, and topsoil/seed or sod — your yard leaves looking like we were never there, except the water problem is gone.
